Chapter 94

And just like that 2 months passed, three months where everyone in Jungkook's home had come to peace with this normality. 

But someone in his family still had a heart and conscience to believe that things happening in this household were nothing but wrong at so many levels. 

One day, it happened late at night.

The house was quiet again, but this time it wasn't punishment-silence. It was exhaustion. Everyone had retreated into their rooms, pretending that everything was fine.

Irene came down from Jungkook's room slowly.

Her hands were shaking. She saw Jungkook slowly killing himself, like he was vanishing by the time. 

She had just watched Jungkook fall asleep after crying himself sick in her arms. His face was pale, his eyes swollen, his body curled in on itself like he was trying to disappear.

She stood in the hallway for a moment, breathing in, breathing out. Calming herself from the utter irritation in her heart. The uneasiness  she feels whenever she come out of jungkook room, and then see the so called, family members sleeping peacefully having on care in the world.

Like they arent just destroying a life , in the name of honor, in the show of right and wrong.

For her jungkook wasn't just his brother-in-law. But he was also her brother, and more over like her first kid, just like Nari.

Irene saw jungkook grown old in front of her eyes, now seeing him suffer like this was too much for her.

She cant take it anymore, she cant see jungkook draining himself, day by day slowly and gradually dying inside.

She turned toward the living room, knowing Jin was there.

Sitting on the couch Phone in hand Calm. Too calm.

Like nothing was wrong. Jin always waited for Irene knowing she was in Jungkook's room. Not for spying but just to see that Jungkook ate. 

And to wait for irene so that they can go back to bed together.

He cared, he knows he does. He cares for Jungkook well being. But he was wrong for whatever happened. Jungkook was wrong to love a boy, and then also hide it from his family. Knowing the consequences , he doesnt even know if Taehyung guys knew about jungkook's condition.  

He was so busy in thinking that he didnt realize Irene stopped in front of him, staring at him with soo many emotions.

"Jin."

He didn't look up, knowing it must be about kook., but coming back to his senses.

"What?"
Not what is it?
Just what.

Something inside her snapped.

"Look at me," she said, calmly, yet her tone was edgy..

Jin sighed, annoyed, and finally raised his head.

"What now Jagi?"

Her voice trembled, but she didn't step back.

"What are you doing to him?"

Jin frowned, "Not this again irene" Tired of the daily conversation.

"I'm serious," Irene said. "What are you doing to Jungkook?"

"We're fixing him," Jin replied coldly. "Someone has to."

Irene laughed, irritated god this was the same man who would kill and die for his brother?
